Vestal: Language Purification Hard Work
The
Bonner County GOP is going to have to get busy. After all, when you accept the mission of purifying the language,
you can’t merely banish “fiesta” from your booth at the fair. Heavens, no. If you want to support the snowy white English
language, you’re going to have to go after “rodeo,” too. And there
better not be any frozen, chocolate-covered “bananas” for sale. And the
spun-sugar candy will need to be called something other than “cotton,”
given the old French roots of that word. Hamburgers are out, of course.
All those Germanic overtones. The fair won’t be the same, but it will be all English. So long as you count Olde English. Purifying the language is tough work, but ever so important/

Question: Let’s say you’re a Bonner County Republican, with an ounce of common sense — like state Sen. Shawn Keough, for example — what would you do at this point to help your fellow county R’s (who are now a national laughingstock) cut their losses and bring the “fiesta” fiasco to an end?
